I finally beat Majora's Mask 3DS. I collected every mask, every heart piece, and completed every side quest. I used the Fierce Deity mask in the final battle, and wow is that mask super duper OP. I trashed every phase of that boss fight in less than 20 seconds each.

Yesterday I beat Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PS3) on hard difficulty. Good grief, I love this game (I've already beaten it twice, even though I got it less than a month ago!). I did noticeably better in this playthrough than on my normal playthrough. It's always nice to see that you're improving as a player! :D

I also beat Halo 4 (360) on heroic difficulty, solo, yesterday. This is my first time beating the game solo, ever, even though I've already beaten it twice before on co-op (once on normal, once on heroic).

Finally, my "now playing" list consists only of games I haven't beaten yet, so I can focus on them entirely. I'm going to avoid starting over games I've already beaten until I at least beat these.

Edit: Last night I finally got my favorite character in Destiny (PS3) up to level 30 (my first time for any character, in fact).

And today I beat Gravity Rush (Vita), including all the DLC and all the challenges. Super fun game, and I really can't wait for the sequel. I hope it actually comes to Vita.

Played through Raptor: call of shadows. An old bullet hell shooter, but damn fun. And I totally forgot I once bought it on GoG. :D


What's even stranger: it's been about 20 years since I played it, but I easily remembered the exploit for quick money (start the sixth mission, abort it as soon as you pick up the weapon early in the level, sell that weapon, repeat a few dozen times, buy the most expensive weapons/equipment).

Been farming on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate most of the day. Killed a Gypceros while hunting for Lightcrystals to upgrade my ice katana and I finished it off with a backhand slash from my charge blade. Thing is, I was a little too close so it looked like it was my hand that dealt the final blow instead of the sword. So basically I just bitch-slapped a giant poisonous turkey to death. I'm counting that as an achievement.

since I was in vacation I started playing Tales of Vesperia and just finished it 1 day before my vacations ended.
It took me 13 days to beat, 71:25 hours said my save and never left the game idle so the counter really reflect my playing time, at level 64-65.
What a great game, one of the best Tales of games that I've played. Yuri is best protagonist, he doesn't care if he dirt his hands, he just do the right thing.
I like Rita personality and the fact that she has the same voice actress that voiced Yukari from Persona 3 and Etna from Disgaea, it fits the tsundere of the character.
now time to spoil my thoughts about the final boss
I actually though Zaude was the final dungeon and Alexei the final boss and had a fairly difficult fight with him. but then the adephagos appeared and then I realized how wrong I was.
once I got through the last dungeon the regular monsters that lurked there where kicking my ass if I wasn't careful, then I took control of Rita to try the new spells she had learned since last time I controlled her and completely destroyed everything on sight, using the skill light magic and equipping the mystic symbol to reduce casting time really paid off, spamming thunder blade in 3 seconds nobody could stand still and even meteor storm casted lightning fast.
that being said Duke wasn't that hard as I spammed all of my high class spells like there was no tomorrow and occasionally switched to Yuri to fight it like a man, whenever Duke used his mystic arte I switched to Estelle and activated overlimit to spam nightingale and resurrection and switched back to Rita to continue the massacre until he fell defeated. my party was Rita, Estelle, Yuri and Raven
and after finishing with that I'm entering again on a period of no RPG and I'm gonna play Infamous 2 to continue Cole's story. and of course I got a copy of Majora's Mask, so I'm gonna be busy there too.

I beat Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS) today, and with the good ending. When I get some extra money, I'll buy Order of Ecclesia, completing my journey through the GBA and DS entries in the series. In the meantime, I might finish off Curse of Darkness, which I stopped playing a long while back.

Just finshed Ninja gaiden 2. on MASTER NINJA.

The most unforgiving, brutal game I have ever played.
Took me many many years of giving up and retaking it lol.

those fairies are guide dang it.
Did you end up getting the Great Fairy Mask, by saving the Clock Town Great Fairy a second time (I think you have to be human)? That makes all the stray fairies pretty easy, or at least manageable, because the mask's hair sparkles whenever there are any in your current room. It also attracts them to you once they've been freed.
Now to Romani ranch, tedious part but must protect the loli.
One of my favorite characters, and one of my favorite side quests! ^.^

Anyway, I've been totally on fire, lately (really, that's what my Backloggery says!). Since my last post on Tuesday, I've beaten the following:
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum- Game of the Year Edition (PS3)- This was a super fun game. It's a shame that we don't see any modern 3D metroidvanias done right. The only ones I know of off the top of my head are this one and the Metroid Prime trilogy (and the latter one is starting to get old enough that "modern" is a stretch). I've had Arkham City sitting on my account as a PS+ freebie for a few months now, so I already started that.
  • DmC: Devil May Cry (PS3)- After beating Bayonetta a second time, Bayonetta 2, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance twice, my Platinum Games spectacle fighter itch STILL isn't quenched! I wanted to pick up the Devil May Cry HD collection as the next logical step and play the original series first, but I'm too broke for anything at the moment, and I already had the reboot sitting on my account as a PS+ freebie from when I first signed up over a year ago, so I decided to try it out. It was fun, but ultimately slow, clunky, and overall underwhelming compared to the other spectacle fighters I played. I liked it enough to want to play the original series though, and I'd certainly be interested in playing a potential sequel to this reboot.
  • Vanquish (PS3)- This was quite a fun, innovative single-player shooter, and despite not being a genre that Platinum normally makes games in, it still shines with their trademark style and substance. The voice acting and story leave something to be desired, but overall it's still a great game. I beat it on hard mode.
Just by coincidence, all three of these are games that I started playing with my at-the-time girlfriend sometime early last year, but never finished. It feels really great to pick up and finish so many games after all this time. I've already beaten 9 games this year, and 6 of them were games I haven't beaten before! :D I know that's probably not a lot for some of you, but for me, that's a big deal.

Used the plugins for Skyrim Flora Overhaul and Tamriel Reloaded Grasses, Field Grass Edition at the same time without issue. That way I could have the nice tree models from SFO and the more varied grass from TR. May not seem like a huge deal to many, but it made Skyrim look so much better for me.
